Notes:
The first set needed no patches (the deck was paused between songs and those breaks in continuity have been slightly edited to smooth the transitions), however the second set required three insert patches, at these locations:
* A. 03.56 seconds from shnid 96562 patched in between "To Lay Me Down" and "Playing In The Band" as PITB begins (pause deck error)
# B. 12.09 seconds from shnid 96562 patched 10 seconds into "Space" (tape flip)
+ C. 04.52 secomds from shnid 96562 patched at the finale of "Sugar Magnolia" (master tape 2 side b ran out - tape change)

shnid 96562 suffers from a drop in sound quality during the second half of the second set, I suspect they needed to lower their mics to avoid getting discovered by a security sweep. This version retains consistent sound quality throughout.
